Xavier Rudd was born in Torquay, Victoria in 1978. He grew up playing everything from the guitar to the saxophone to the didgeridoo, which accounts for the laundry list of instruments that appear on his albums.

Xavier Rudd Tickets - The Music

Rudd combines an interesting blend of various types of roots music from around the world with elements like blues and surf rock. If Jack Johnson devoted time to traveling the world, he might end up sounding something like Rudd. Also notable: Rudd is known for his skill with multiple instruments - simultaneously. Don't be surprised if you see him playing both the acoustic guitar and the didgeridoo at the same time. But that's just what you get when place as much emphasis on diversity in music as Xavier Rudd does.
